Designed by master builder Yoshihito Isogawa, this visual guide encourages creative experimentation without step-by-step instructions, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned LEGO enthusiasts eager to innovate. ## Description The LEGO® Technic Idea Book: Simple Machines is a collection of hundreds of working examples of simple yet fascinating Technic models that you can build based on their pictures alone. Each project uses color-coded pieces and is photographed from multiple angles, making it easy to see how the models are assembled without the need for step-by-step instructions. Every model illustrates a different principle, concept, or mechanism that will inspire your own original creations. Youre encouraged to use these elements as building blocks to create your own masterpieces. The Technic models in Simple Machines demonstrate basic configurations of gears, shafts, pulleys, turntables, connectors, and the like. You'll learn how to create small, elegant machines like cranes, operable doors, motorized cars, a rubber band-powered rocket launcher, a hand-cranked drag racer, and even musical instruments. This visual guide, the first in the three-volume LEGO Technic Idea Book series, is the brainchild of master builder Yoshihito Isogawa of Tokyo, Japan. Each title is filled with photos of Isogawa's unique models, all of which are designed to fire the imaginations of LEGO builders young and old. Imagine. Create. Invent. Now, what will you build? NOTE: The LEGO Technic Idea Book series uses parts from various Technic sets. If you don't have some of the pieces shown in a particular model, experiment by substituting your own parts or visit the author's website for a list of the special parts used in the book.

Some words but lots of pictures and ... *by F***Y on 16 January 2015* Brilliant book. Some words but lots of pictures and explanations of how fairly complex mechanisms work. Lego obsessed 9 year old loves it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by M***P on 9 May 2013* Great book for someone new to Technic with lots of tips and tricks. Many concepts and theories behind building MOCs are explained through this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Photos of Lego machines *by A***R on 26 March 2011* I purchased this book on a whim after reading a glowing review on another site. The concept is very simple - no text, just pictures of mechanical lego models ranging from very simple to complex taken from a variety of angles. The pictures themselves are very clear and you can usually work out fairly quickly what's going on. Would you ever make the models shown in this book? I haven't (yet), but I'm really not sure if that's what it's about. It's really a coffee table book for you to pick up and admire the pictures, the models and of course the awesome 'toy' that is Lego. There are other books in the series, and I have to say that I'm tempted to buy them. If you love Lego, especially the Technic kits, then at under £10 this book is certainly worth a look - so long as you're aware of what you're getting. ## Frequently Bought Together - The LEGO Technic Idea Book: Simple Machines - The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Volume 1: Machines and Mechanisms - The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Vol. 2: Cars and Contraptions --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/49282568-the-lego-technic-idea-book-simple-machines-1](https://www.desertcart.no/products/49282568-the-lego-technic-idea-book-simple-machines-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
